That's a Lot of Water!

Hi Everyone,

Greetings from Niagara Falls!  We are having a great time.  Yesterday was my birthday and I got to celebrate on the Maid of the Mist.  I have been dreaming of riding it almost since I can remember.  I was so excited when we were getting on that I felt like a kid again!

This is the Maid of the Mist in Horseshoe Falls.  Obviously I wasn't on this one.   But look at the rainbows!  I took this last night.




This is a picture I took when we were in the same position as the boat above!  It was exhilarating and exciting!


Here we are.  My husband doesn't seem likely to trade me in on a new model even if I am a year older!
 
We went on the tram over the whirlpool today!



And then we went "Behind the Falls." 
 
The best is the news that Kate had the baby--a boy!  Hopefully they will light the falls blue tonight as we leave tomorrow.
 
 
Have a great day!
JoAnne
 
PS:  I found my phone charger!  It was just like most of you predicted--just a day after I bought a new one.  I got out of the car at one of our stops and there was a cord hanging off my purse.  It was the missing charger.  It must have been down under a seat or something?  I was thinking it was white, like my phone, but it was black--so I probably saw it when I searched in the car, but didn't recognize it.

  4. Happy belated birthday. I was thinking about you when I heard the news about the royal baby, wondering if you were still in the Niagara area to enjoy the "blue" light show. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

  10. Glad to hear (and see) that you are having fun on your trip. And I dread to think what is hiding under/between the seats in our car!

  12. Happy Belated Birthday JoAnne! What wonderful surroundings to celebrate it in. I remember the Maid of the Mist ride from many, MANY years ago... are the raincoats still yellow? It is a marvel to ride that boat so close to the falls... and how special to see it at night time, lit up in blue for the new prince!
